Matveev A. [Review:] Islam Reader. Translations from Arabic, introductions and commentaries. Compiled and edited by S. M. Prozorov. Moscow: Nauka Publishing House, 1994, 238 pp. // Manuscripta Orientalia. Vol. 2. No. 2. June 1996. P. 68—71.
The first part of the Islam Reader was published in 1994
in Moscow by the publishing house “Vostochnaya Literatura”
(Oriental Literature). It contains translations (with
detailed commentaries and introductory articles) of several
original Arabic texts representing different genres of Muslim
religious literature. The need for such a collection of
texts has long been there, especially since textbooks on
Arabic literature and language are scarce, and the demand
for young specialists in the field of Islamic studies is
growing. The appearance of this book should be viewed
therefore as a prominent event in scholarly life. There is
practically no experience with creating similar text selections,
neither in Russia, nor in Western countries. It should
be noted that the idea of publishing a similar selection of
texts in English translation is much approved by our colleagues
from other countries...
